Here is a quick sketch of Dahmay, a friend of mine. She is at once very imposing ( She is 30 feet tall with a wing span of 40 feet.), compassionate and exceedingly wise. Dahmay is a Noble Dragon which means, among other things, that her fire is curative and creative. As opposed the maelstrom force, destructive fire of the Greedy Dragons.
Dahmay is a friend to all. Even though the Grumpy Pirates got her stuck in enchanted pink clay pots--(they felt really badly about that!) she helps them out when they are in a pinch or are very confused and, therefore, grumpy.

Coming Soon: Excerpts from "How I met Dahmay," "The Grumpy Pirates and the Pink Clay Pots," and "Dahmay and Peak, the blue armadillo".

Clean Slate Parenting 1 3/2/16 We begin. The art of clean slate parenting. The other day my son, André, who is nearly 10 years old, and I were talking about growth mindset vs fixed mindset. (Many thanks to Carol Dweck for her visionary book, “Mindset”.)  I asked if he felt like he had a fixed mindset for any of his subjects in school. Because, I told  him, I had a fixed mindset about other things (housekeeping, some yoga poses, zumba, earning money ) and I had a growth mindset about some things (parenting, sculpture, meditation, performing).  We agreed that some parts of our life are bathed in the light of growth mindset and that  some parts that were clamped down by a fixed mindset. If you have a growth mindset, you see failures as opportunities  to learn and grow as opposed to final judgments about your character. If you have a fixed mindset, when you fail you have proved to the world that you are a sham and not worth anything. ...

Charming Girl No More Chapter 1

Charming Girl No More by Eleanor Scott is a young adult novel presented here serially.   Charming Girl No More By Eleanor Scott ©2011 Part I  Chattingtrook One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. Nietzsche Chapter 1: Crying in Class      Charming Girl was so late to school that she was tempted to run, but she didn’t have her helmet. (How bad would that be? Headlines read: "BoS Poster Girl Breaks Core Rule in Public.") So she just walked very quickly. Usually she loved striding briskly through the pristine, geometric streets of Feteville, the capital of Chattingtrook, along with all the students and workers walking silently to their assigned jobs. The simple grays of the concrete always complemented the dashing blue of the sky. The endless tinted mirror glass on the buildings reflected the morning commuters. Today, though, the throng seemed not only bigger but much...
